Epitome,
I really don't think that the Republican is focused on *race*, I think that they are focused on *money* and if you have it, you are in, if you don't, you're out. So I don't think that they really care about black or white - I think that they care about green. That's why you have so many African-Americans now who have money who are Republicans. B/c at the end of the day, the Republican party is all about that trickle down economics. Give it to the rich, and hope that they make moves to let a little trickle down to everybody else.

I can agree with Ania about CP up to a point. But if he's so concerned about African-Americans, why is he so tight with the party that has HISTORICALLY been against giving us our due? I'm not trying to toot the Democrats horn, but in a country with only two viable parties, and only one that's shown any willingness to meet your people halfway, why would you choose the other one? CP is an accomplished person and seems very dignified, so I can respect that, but his choices confuse me. As for CR, the jury's still out on her. BTW, did anyone read the love note (sorry, article) the NY Times just published about her?
